The merging of frontends is something that is only done if there are multiple modulation types on the same demodulator chip. As the HVR-4000 has separate demods for DVB-T versus DVB-S2, they will always be represented by two separate frontends (for the foreseeable future). In other words, the recent work doesn't apply to this card (and others like it). Devin -- Devin J.
